About

My first contact with the Pokémon Anime was on middle 1999's, when I was six. It was in a kids morning TV program called Eliana & Alegria. After some time (like... two years?), due to the lack of new episodes in open TV, I stopped to watch Pokemon until it started to be again shown in open TV, in 2005, with the Master Quest saga. Then, I begun to become more and more interested in Pokémon Media.

So, I set to play Pokémon games, and find in the internet more and more about this franchise. Somewhere around this "search", I arrived here, in Bulbapedia!

Bulbapedia

I simply thought that Bulbapedia was really awesome, in first sight! In primary contacts, I used to read, read, and read much information as I could about Pokémon here. Then I decided to create an account in order to help this big community with the little that I can transmit!

Today, I try to correct what isn't, add what I know, standarize similar pages, put templates, and some more.

One of my bigger tasks was pass by all Pokémon's pages adding anime dex entries available in Theryguy512's project (with his permission), and correcting the one's that already were there. It was a mess. I completed, but since new dex entries are added every time, I have to stay in patrol!

Besides this, I say that my objective is only one: improve bulbapedia as I can.

Games

In the games, normally I choose the male player, and put Rikki as his name. In some cases I've chosen the girl player for random purposes, putting Blue for Leaf's name (because of her Special counterpart), and Rika (リカちゃん Rika-chan) for Kotone's (due to the similarity with Rikki, suggestion of Sayaka), and so I decided to since then, always use Rika for a female player, if I return to play with one.

I do not have the practice of playing both of the first versions of every Generation, usually choosing that which call me more attention (combining aspects like version mascot, color, name, etc). The third version sometimes makes me playing it, because of it being sightly different from the other two, but it's not always.

I was somewhat-absent in Generation III games, because of my "absence from the Pokémon World" between 2001 and 2005.

Fandom

In 2005~2006, I used to be member of Pokémon Village, and Brazilian fandom website, as News Editor and Webdesigner, besides other functions. I participated also in PSBR fansub, helping in the Pokémon Special manga translation to portuguese.

Nowadays I have contact with important people of Brazilian Fandom, but I'm almost out of action.

Espeon in the anime.

Favorite Pokémon

My favorite Pokémon is, for sure, Espeon! Since I first saw it in a brazilian magazine about Pokémon, I liked it much! I don't know if I became identified with it or not, but for me it is one of the best Pokémon!

Anime

Favorite Characters

• Misty (カスミKasumi) - The BEST Pokémon character ever! I think that the way she loves the Water-type Pokémon is so nice! And since my favorite type is it... perfect match! I simply hate the way that the twerps writers gave her at the Johto League saga. Only a very few episodes were focused on her and/or with somewhat important participation of Misty. When she was "kicked" from the anime main cast, I became so depressed that took much time to pass, and that goodbye's episode is so sad! At least she became much more mature and strong since this. Nowadays I'm used to the idea that she won't come back to the main cast, but at least I expect some new special appearences, like May's from DP075 to DP079.

• May (ハルカHaruka) - One of the best Pokémon Coordinators ever! She simply OWNS when the theme is Contest. I like much her presentations and I thinks she has a very good spirit for this! I loved her re-appearence in Sinnoh and I hope the three Pokémon girls may meet themselves together!

• Dawn (ヒカリHikari) - I like much her Contest side too, but not as May's. I don't know certainly why, but I like much this girl, also. Maybe it's due to her personality.

• Dent (デントDent) - Pokémon Sommelier! He's so gorgeous and everything! A character like him in Ash's gang is different, but awesome!

• Jessie (ムサシ Musashi) - The diva of the anime. She is so beautiful and funny! I like much her rage moments, as well as the diva ones. XD

• James (コジロウKojirō) - It is so funny when he crossdresses, lol. Also, I like so much his 'normal' way. He is also so nice, just like Jessie.

• Tracey Sketchit (ケンジKenji) - I like much this guy due to his liking in observate the Pokémon's habits. In some ways I identify with him, and I wish he could get a bigger part in the anime nowadays.

• Sakura (サクラSakura) - I think that my linking on her was mainly because she has an Espeon. But, I think that her battle style is very cool! Her gym battle with Misty was awesome!

• Harley (ハーリー Harley) - The funniest ever! I laugh so much every time he appears! His way, talkings ("Pin~pon! :D" LOL) are just hilarious. I simply died the time he crossdressed as May! >XDDD

• Reggie (レイジReiji) - Don't know exactly why I like him. He is so different form Paul. He's a nice breeder.

• Kellyn (ハジメHajime) - My favorite spin-off games are from the Pokémon Ranger series. I like much the Rangers in all thing! Capturing, clothing, etc. Kellyn is my favorite one!

• Barry (ジュンJun) - I already liked much Pearl's character design, and I admit that I wasn't waiting his appearence in the anime, and it surprised me! I like so much his freaky way.

• Belle (ベルBelle) - She's so similar to Jun! Physically and in manner! XD I like her so much!
